Designer Ramazan Kaya’s latest yacht concept exudes style, luxury and comfortable recreation, taking design cues from a car brand known for its subtle sophistication and technological innovation.

Star Gazing Table

Posted: 29 Mar 2013 12:01 AM PDT

The Nebula table is created from a combination of polygons that play with the viewer’s perspective, making the facade an interactive sculpture of sorts. Depending on the angle from which it is viewed, the glossy black surface also gives a subtle, clouded reflection of surrounding colors that resembles an interstellar cloud. Composed of fiberglass, it’s a sexy accessory inside or out.

Designer: Yovo Bozhinovski
